There’s no such thing as a free lunch, but today’s nominal feature for sprinting fillies doesn’t look complicated at all. Of the seven entered in the starter allowances, three figure much better than the rest. Faithful One (5-2), Kiss And Fly (5-1) and She’s My Fortune (2-1) all appear all for a top try.

Faithful One has shown much improved speed with maturity and her last two performance figures indicate another forward move is coming. She has experience, good early speed and can finish. Seven weeks fresh and returning for top connections (Levine/Maragh), she’ll take catching.

Kiss And Fly is interesting in that her form is similar to the choice’s and owns more than one victory, after qualifying for this condition by breaking her maiden for a $50,000 tag or less. With Chad Brown profitable in his first start with new acquisitions, indeed, profitable for his young and promising career, and with Ramon Dominguez in the boot, she’s very tempting at early line odds.

She’s My Fortune, meanwhile, is the likely post time favorite and frankly deserves to be. She’s fastest on performance figures, comes back with good spacing (six weeks), and she fits the race shape ideally, able to stalk the pace comfortably on the outside in a small field before pouncing for Tony Dutrow and Channing Hill.

Taking She’s My Fortune to win at 2-1 or greater and keying her first and second in exactas and trifectas with her rivals here.

I’m sure the results are favorable but I don’t keep records, perferring to concentrate on my other responsibilities. My suggestion, however, is that you do, to chart not only my results but yours as a bettor, noting the strengths of weaknesses of both my plays and those you eventually would make. Multiple pools are not for everyone. A $2-flat wager is the clearest method of ultimately defining success. Thanks for staying engaged.
